Wisely Amended.
f-rylli: BILL of Sonutor Hour
S nt'ovlrllnir that no roinblnu-
2 tlon In furtheiancu C any
trade dispute "shall be
deemed criminal, nor shall those en
paged therein he Indictable or other
wise punishable for the mime of con
spiracy, If such net committed by one
person would not be punishable as a
crime, nor shall such agreement, com
bination or contract be considered as
In restraint oC trade or commerce, nor
shall any restraining order or injunc
tion be issued with i elation thereto,"
has been wisely amended by the senate
judiciary committee. The amendment
consists of the Insertion just before the
last "nor" of these words: "Unless the
purpose ur effect of such conspiracy
shall bo to create intimidation by show
of physical force or the court shall find
that the combination has for Its pur
pose the occasioning of injury to the
properly or business of the complain
ant or Is likely to result In such Injury,
nor except such purpose be proved to
the satisfaction of the court or the
court find that such is likely to be the
effect."
This, it will be observed, leaves mat
ters virtually as they are now. Injunc
tion to prevent the consummation of a
conspiracy for the purpose of Inflicting
Injury upon an individual, firm or cor
poration is a necessary arm of Justice;
otherwise incalculable damage might be
wi ought by hastily assembled mobs
which, afterward melting away, could
not be identified, indicted or punished.
Injunction does not punish. It simply
warns. Punishment comes when warn
ing thus legally served is Ignored; and
It properly Is swift and earnest punish
ment, administered without reference
to prevalent excitement or passion, by
a judge not Influenced by fear or favor.
Injunction proceeds upon the sound
doctrine that it Is better to prevent
outrage If possible than, after its coin
mission, to hunt for the perpetrators
with a view to putting them on trial
before a jury possibly biased by tem
porary prejudice or excitement, As we
said on Monday, It takes away no pihi
Icge except the privilege to do an un
lawful act. That privilege no man
should oossess.
The Pennsylvania railroad l.tst year
moved nearly a quarter or a billion

JI0.4K who oppose subsidy
encouragement for Amerlcnn
slilp-buildlng labor under
tile disadvantage of not pro
posing any better plan. They criticize
fluently but construct nothing. Sub
sidy Is not an un-American arrange
ment. Kvery mill or factory located In
a village or city by offer of a bonus
represents the subsidy Idou. It Is true
that when a city becomes famous its a
manufacturing center It nu longer has
lo hold out such inducements to attract
new Industries. Hut In the Infancy of
Industrial growth the subsidy Is often
esseutltil and the price asked is paid
willingly because It means bread
thrown on the waters, to return after
many days.
Our merchant murine stands In the
relationship of an Infant enterprise
which needs encouragement. The ship
subsidy bill proposes to give this en
couragement. Sonic of the details of
the bill may not be just right; the
whole matter Is necessarily experi
mental, But unless something Is done
there will be ho growth of this Indus
try. The American people want It to
grow, and they are willing to give It
a moderate amount of substantial as
sistance. One thing 1b certain about
thla subsidy business, tf the merchant
marine does not Increase It will not
cost much; If It does, we shall he
getting our money's worth. Let our
Democratic friends remember that.
Seventy per cent, of our Emopean
trade Is with England and Germany.
Thut ought to explain why it is to our
Interest as well as pleasuie to "be

Government Control of Railroads.
r
X AN INTERVIEW in the Phila
delphia Press ex-Judge Logan,
general solicitor of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, offers timely and
very liberal comment upon the amend
ments to the interstate commerce law
now pending in the senate. Those
amendments propose to clothe the In
terstate commerce commission with
power to enforce a rate when after
full hearing It has been found to be
fair. Now the commission has power
to hear but not to enforce. The only
limitation upon the power proposed to
be confided to it Is that of liability
to teviow by the courts. In return for
this concession by the railroads, con
gress is asked to allow pooling and
the formation of traffic associations,
both to be subject to government su
pervision and control. Two other fea
tures should be mentioned. One is the
penalizing of the shipper as well as
the railroad Violating the law; and
the clothing of. the courts, upon peti
tion of the Interstate commerce com
mission, with power to enforce the
published tariff of rates In other
words, to make sure that the lutes of
the railroads for transportation of
freight or passengers are as flat and
fair to all as are, for example, the ad
vertising rates of The Tribune.
Contrary to what might be expected,
judging from the attitude of some rail
way officials. Judge Logan, speaking
for the great Pennsylvania system,
heartily favors these amendments and
expresses his confidence In the Integ
rity of governmental agencies. "I be
lieve," says he, "that not only the ship
per but the carrier needs governmental
help. It seems to me the time has
come when the government should re
assume the right of a moderate control
and supervision over the carriers oc
cupying the government's highways,
and that this In its operation should
reach forward as well as backward
tho carrier to have a reasonable re
turn for his Investment In the agencies
of can Inge, and the shipper the as
surance of a prompt service and a
reasonable rate, and' the public to be
protected by stability and uniformity
In all charges."
It Is a great deal to have such views
as these expressed by the representa
tive of one of tho largest of our Ameri
can railway systems. It marks u long
forward step In the development of a
wholesome public opinion, We have
had "public be damned" railroad uian
ngeme,nts and rnllroad-be-damned leg
islatutes and between the two the pub
lic Interest has very frequently gotten
lost In the shuffle. The Popullstlo Idea
that ralltnudh aiv public enemies and
therefore fit targets for all kinds of
abuse ana attack has happily passed
out of mind; but there has come In
place of It the notion that use of "pull"
to secure discriminating charges vio
lative at once of business fairness and
federal law is Justlliuble in the Indiv
idual shipper, however iliegul It may
bo for tho currier which succumbs to
It. Kor this reason, tho placing of tho
shipper on a legal par with the car
rier In respect to penalties for viola
tion of the interstate commerce law Is
certainly an eiiultablefeature of the
proposed amendments. As to the legal
izing of pooling, objection to it loses
point when power is given to the In
terstate commerce commission and
courts to enforce published rates. Will)
this power exercised, pooling. and joint
t radio associations become harmless so
far as the publlo is concerned and re
main simply conveniences In the econ
omic administration of railway prop
ertles. The affair at Allentown demonstrated
the other day that when It comes to the
matter at taking prizes the Scranton
gingers can hold their own without
making much fuss about It,
Prince Henry believes that It will
tnko several months for him to think It
nil over, and pinko up for lost sleep.
There Is a possibility that tho "new
maple sugar" purchubeel during the
nest few days will be pew.
